A guitar cover/improvisation and collaboration by David Svensson and Mike Hilton, and a dedication to the life of Dr Oldfield, whom sadly passed away recently.
Father to Sally, Mike, and Terry Oldfield.
We dedicate this version of "Let There Be Light", one of Mike Oldfield's brilliant pieces of music to the Oldfield family, we are also greatly inspired by these gifted and very talented musicians.

David, asked me to perform some guitar on his version, and is one of his favourite pieces by, Mr Oldfield, and I gladly accepted. 
This is also one of my first at an improvised cover, and a great choice by, David, indeed.
And I must say it was an absolute pleasure working on his superb arrangement.. a very talented player devoted to music, and sincere friend. 
More of, Dave's, great music here.. https://soundcloud.com/davidjsvensson

Let There be Light (cover)

Let There be Light (Mike Oldfield cover) collaboration with David Svensson.

Due to Soundcloud's way of mishandling my releases, both when it comes to cover artworks and vocal snippets used in my music, I am hereby leaving this platform and will focus my releases with my label Legacy of Thought and uploads to Bandcamp and YouTube. 

I was born in Sweden but migrated to Singapore in 2002. It was here that my focus on music really took off. Inspired by all sounds that move the mind I enjoy producing music in just about all genres. I love to explore and break the boundaries of where one genre starts and another ends. The fusion of styles is very much what keeps my interest spinning, turning each new project into an adventurous ride.

My entry point to music was with synth-pop and since then my focus has been an ongoing circuit of classical, soundtracks, rock, blues, jazz, hip-hop, trip-hop, chill step, dubstep, and future bass.
When it comes to down-tempo music, I have a deep affection for introverted songs.  I prefer textures of melodic music which has a drive but every now and then allowing shorter ambient drones to fall in as an intro. I am also a fan of groovy dance music and enjoy the most a sleek and fairly minimalist sound where main instruments get a chance to shine.
When it comes to electronic music there is almost an avoidable tang of vintage elements making its way through. At times I let this go all the way working with analog sequencing.
Current and future projects are with a set focus on chill-step, future bass, and cinematic music to fit the Future Garage segment of music.

Ongoing album projects:
Pipe Dreams (Lo-Fi Trip/Hiphop & Dub)
The Silk Road Chronicles (Ethnic chill-out & cinematic)
HiberNation (fusion chill-out)
Quantum Theorem (electronic soundtracks)

Composer of multi-instrumental music, with a preference for longer, progressive and complexly arranged pieces.   

Have played guitar for many years, but I am probably a slightly odd type of guitarist. Not particularily interested in the guitar genre, not too keen on listening to long solos, etc. I don't enjoy playing for people - a party-killer, in short. However, leave me alone with this wonderful tool (or the keyboard, which I play too), and I will start experimenting with it, searching for something to develop. 

Strongly interested in classical music and anything remotely related to that. I want to construct music with a similar structure and complexity, although with other instruments, and in my own way...  
___________________________________________________________

During 2010-2013, I worked on a suite of related pieces, GUITARS PLAYED BY DS, with every sound played on the electric guitar. A major undertaking, and (all-in-all) 45+ minutes long, all complexly related and released in five segments.

During 2014-2015, the main focus was on the full-format 'LONG INSTRUMENTAL', a progressive work with lots of different instruments and sounds, restless and complex. Some sections stand on their own feet: MYSTERY, and FANFARE. 

The 2014-2015 recordings also resulted in two shorter pieces: CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION and CLUSTER OF WARNINGS.

During 2015 I initiated a suite played on classical guitars - GUITAR STRUCTURES. It is a series of slowly changing ideas, a weave of melodies and harmony, the first section out in April 2015 (the 2nd came 2 years later).  

I played guitars on Tolubai's wonderful ambient piece 'MEMORIES' (August 2015).

EARTHSHINE came out in January 2016; a darker and slightly dissonant progressive piece, and one of my personal favorites. So is SILENCE, out 1st July 2016. September 2016: IGNITION  with TOLUBAI and LET THERE BE LIGHT 22th Sept 2016 with PuppyWolf. 

20/11-2016: The OORT CLOUD PROJECT I-IX. An 18+ minutes long progressive synth-based instrumental, with lots of short guitar phrases integrated. Also, the spin-off PASSAGE was released. 

GROTESQUE released too in the end of 2016. The 19th January 2017, I released the sketch OMMA CONTRAPUNCTUS PROJECT. The 4th February 2017, the track '3 WORLDS COLLIDE' was released.

'Guitar Structure No. 2' out in March 2017, took 2 years to complete.

BEST OF 2 WORLDS was released in November 2017, another personal favorite composition.

APPROACHING: an unfinished sketch released 1st April 2018. TAURUS IV released 8th April 2018.

New Years evening 2019, quickly improvising a track: DECADE. Uploaded 23:58 local time. It was a very fun way of ending the year and I used a symbolic art cover with red sweeping in, but I wouldn't have dreamed of what was to come soon.

One main project this year is the SNOWFLAKES VARIATIONS suite; the Prelude was released in January 2020.

8th April 2020: CREATURES RISING was released. CREATURES OF THE RAINFOREST also a spinoff track (released 2021).

In the Lockdown March-April 2020, I recorded 'Era', out of frustration...

5th June 2020: REPORT FROM PLANET THREE, which was initiated 31st May 2019. 

31st July 2020: FORECAST was released. April 2021: SUMMER SNOWFLAKES, a 25 minute long track and perhaps my most ambitious ever. 

OCTOBER 22, 2021: OUTPOST. Was hell of a lot work behind this, which started out as the "Conquerer" project already in 2017. 

APRIL 28, 2022: The Disclosure (Part I).
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022: PEACE GUITARS. A track very dear to me, much of it written outdoors at the shores with my lovely dog with me. 

OCTOBER 6, 2023: SHAMBOLIC GUITARS.  Intensive recordings!

DECEMBER 7, 2024: TABOOOO released. (Oldfield Tribute)

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025: WATERFALL (part 1). Another part will follow in 2026!

Dear friends, I am sometimes not able to write comments here - Sorry!
Hi - this is my new Repost page. You can find my own songs: Bengt Erik Roth User 188944807.

I like to play riffs through Marshall Mini Stacks and go back later and add the BOSS effects.

Every time I am sincerely surprised that the music came together again, that it worked. I don’t often write music , to enjoy nature of this wonderful process.
All tracks AI free!
Big thanks to SOUNDCLOUD for the wonderful opportunity to be heard and to my invisible friends, musicians and composers, whom I hear well thanks to SC
As an architect, I am interested in the question - if architecture is frozen music, then music is melted architecture? In this case I'm the freezer unplugged.🤗
The iceberg from the freezer is still dripping, but over time it can leak heavily...
My musical education is modest - 4th grade piano in childhood at the cultural center named Mikhail Kalinin in Kharkov + SC now
